#1 Sachin Tendulkar

Perhaps, the most complete batsman to have graced the cricket field, Sachin Tendulkar took an entire nation with him, carried hopes, seldom faltered, won matches, gave countless memories to relive, several others to cling on to.
A legend of the game, Sachin mastered the ODI format, better than anyone during his era and in the 463 matches he featured in, the Mumbaikar was involved in 99 century ODI partnerships, a majority of which were match-winning efforts.
Along the way, he accumulated 49 centuries and gave India countless moments to rejoice, celebrate, and when the dust settled, those very moments made the entire nation not only thank him but miss him!
